If you are looking for some home brew ipa beers, this is the place for you. Husband and daughter enjoyed the beers. Granddaughter enjoyed the chips and salsa. It is a little dark spot in the back and bottom of the street kind of place.

Pizza was great! Glasses of wine were a little sparse for the cost! Great entertainment!!!

Beer was great, mic night had some amazing talent (guy pictured sounded just like Tyler Childers) and the food was good but took forever.Will go back.

We went there three times in 5 days. We had great service, pizza and beer every time. Dog friendly and kids loved it. Highly recommend!

We enjoyed our visit for the most part. The only reason we didn't give 5 stars is because we just didn't like the pizza. Kids shared a cheese pizza. After the first bite, the oldest declared it was the worst pizza he ever had. Everyone else had a bite and the consensus was that the crust was just meh. It tastes like water and flour were mixed together and dusted with cornmeal. The chicken bites were delicious, as were the fries. You get a lot in each order, so don't order one order per person. Greek salad was good, as were the sandwiches and beer. They do serve "regular" sodas, but they aren't listed in a menu anywhere. We got bottled sodas from the refrigerator by the ordering counter because we didn't know better.

Service was good, did not like the pizza. Cheese tasted and looked fake, needs a lot of improvement

We had dinner here tonight. The girl at the counter was sweet and helpful. We tried a beer or two before ordering two sandwiches and two beers. All very good. Unfortunately we had to get up twice and go back up to the counter cuz they forgot the salad dressing as well as the side of ranch for the fries. We'll go back to try the pizzas, they looked good.

Honestly, I loved the vibe and people more than the beer or food. The lady at the bar was super friendly and came outside to turn our heater on since we were out there with our pomeranian. Super sweet. Dogs aren't allowed inside from what I read on the door, but some lady walked in with her dog and hung out inside while we were outside...not sure why that was allowed or even if they knew, haha. No stouts are available, but the beers we tried were good. It was fast and easy ordering, but I was expecting so much more in the pizza. I wish it was made in-house like they claim, and I wish there were a ton more pepperoni. Wings were good, and if I was in a bind for food, as Ruidoso Restaraunts aren't open late, I would probably order them again. All in all, this place has a great vibe, friendly staff, wonderful patrons, and medicore food that I would still revisit when I'm in town.

Nice staff and great pizza, took a long time and restaurant was crowded, but we enjoyed it.

I had a flight and the beer was ok. The IPA was my favorite. Salad was good, pizza was undercooked, crust was soggy. One of the "beertenders" was extremely rude when I asked if I could trade one of my flight beers for a different one. Service is lacking but they have 3 locations on one street so obviously they are profiting from tourists who have to learn the hard way like me. Won't be back.

This place is busy, but because it's so good! Great hangout spot. Get a lot of food for the money.

The coffee porter was pretty damn tasty! Good vibes and some live music Friday night.

Horrible service and it was dead. Pizza was good. I had to keep calling the bartender to serve me. Unless you’re a regular I noticed it was not a great place for new people. Don’t recommend for travelers. I was heavily disappointed. I understand being busy and having to go flag her down. But this was my last favorite place to visit. Smell was also horrible inside.

Sub par, at best. The requested to order on the Slice app, instead of taking my order while on the phone with them. Ok. Place order for 2 pizzas, salads & 2 cinnamon rolls. App notified me 15min later to head over because our order would be done in 20min. Done. Sit and wait 45min!!! Then said they didn’t have cinnamon rolls & the app shouldn’t have charged me for it, and instead of taking a moment to look at the order on their end, asked me to pull up the order to prove it to refund me. But the WiFi is so bad, my order wouldn’t pull up. Had to call my hubby to take screen shots and text to me. But again, bad WiFi so sit took awhile for the pictures to come through. Manager said he would look into it tomorrow… Seriously!? Then get home to hungry kids and it was cold pizza, and quality was below a frozen grocery store pizza
